Folly Beach Kayak Dolphin Safari in Charleston (2026) | Compare 6+ Tours

Q: What should I wear and bring for the dolphin kayak safari?

Wear lightweight, quick-dry clothing and sunscreen. Bring water, a hat, and a waterproof bag for your phone or camera.

Q: Are the dolphin tours suitable for beginners or children?

Yes! Tours are beginner-friendly. Children should be able to sit in a kayak, but we recommend those with basic paddling skills.

Q: What happens to my tour if it rains or the weather is bad?

We operate in light rain, but tours may be rescheduled or canceled due to high winds or lightning for safety.

Q: Do I need to bring my own kayak, or is equipment provided?

All necessary equipment, including kayaks, paddles, and life jackets (PFDs), is provided with your booking.

Q: How likely am I to see dolphins during the tour?

While sightings aren't guaranteed, Folly Beach is a prime habitat, and our guides are experts at spotting local pods.

Q: What is the physical difficulty level of the paddle?

It is a moderate activity. You will be paddling through salt marshes and coastal waters, so some upper body strength is helpful.
